Bad weather is thought to be a factor in a crash that killed a man in Perry County last night,
the State Highway Patrol said.

Raymond N. Mauller Sr., 77, of Dresden, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which
occurred at about 8:56 p.m. south of New Lexington, the patrol said.

Mauller was a passenger in a 1991 Ford Ranger truck driven by his son, Charles L. Mauller,
33, of Crooksville. The truck was headed east on Tunnel Hill Road, just east of Melon Hill Road in
Pike Township, when the driver lost control. The truck went off the right side of the road, hit a
guard rail and a culvert and overturned, the patrol said.

The elder Mauller was pronounced dead at the scene by the county coroner’s office, the patrol
said.
